Ghouls and goblins will delight in the spooky activities Syracuse has to offer this month. From haunted houses to haunted hayrides, Halloween-themed events can be found all over Central New York:

New this year is the CarnEVIL of Chiefsville Haunted House. Located in Alliance Bank Stadium, home of the Syracuse Chiefs baseball team, guests are told that they will make their way into rooms of the stadium typically closed to the public and will experience first-hand why those areas are off-limits. This event starts October 11th and will run every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for three weeks.

TV's 'Ghost Hunters' from the SyFy channel experienced paranormal activity here in Central New York; spending time in Sylvan Beach. If you'd like to spend some time with the spirits they encountered, you can check out Halloweekends at Sylvan Beach Amusement Park.

Frightmare Farms opens this weekend, October 12th in Fulton, NY and will be running every Friday and Saturday until October 27th. They list themselves as the largest haunted house in Central New York with 5000 square feet of terror.

The Sterling Renaissance Festival grounds transforms for the month of October from jousting knights and fair maidens, into Screamers Hollow. There visitors will find a "Haunt Fest" with four different attractions. Visitors can walk through the Village of the Damned, hayride on the Terror Town Tours, get lost in the Slaughterhouse Asylum corn maze, or take their chances with the Spirits On The Bogs torch-lit trail.

For the smallest of spirits, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo offers their annual Zoo Boo event featuring kid-friendly magic shows, not-so-scary story time, and creature features. Halloween costumes are encouraged!
